________________________________________________________________________

                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:		pam_smb and pam_ntdom
Date:			September 12th, 2000
Advisory ID:		MDKSA-2000:047

Affected versions:	None
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A bug exists in two PAM modules: pam_smb and pam_ntdom.  They are
 pluggable authentication modules that allow authentication of usernames
 and passwords in PAM-compatible environments against Windows and Samba.
 Both modules contain remotely exploitable stack buffer overflows.  This
 bug allows an attacker to execute arbitary code as root.  The versions
 affected are:  pam_smb < 1.1.6 and pam_ntdom < 0.24.
________________________________________________________________________

Linux-Mandrake does not ship with either the pam_smb or pam_ntdom 
modules and is therefore not vulnerable to this exploit.  Linux-Mandrake 
users who have installed this package on their own are encouraged to 
upgrade to the latest versions available:

  pam_smb 1.1.6 at ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/pam_smb/
  pam_ntdom 0.24 at http://cb1.com/~lkcl/pam-ntdom/
